I was under the understanding that if the cable was "cat" certified, the actual makeup was irrelevant to performance.

David, you may be correct. I think that solid CAT cable is inherently less reactive, but if it's certified at a specific category, it should meet the specification. One discussion I saw recommended 100M maximum for solid and stated 80M was the limit for stranded cable for their particular product. I have a auditorium that ran 500' runs of CAT5 (100M - 328' was the recommended maximum) and their X32 has been running flawlessly for several years.

Just don't try that with Dante.

Sean, we run Horizon Digital Snakes. All of our are 250' stranded with 10' removable tails from the reel that they are on. We also have a couple that care 4 lines per snake run that we use for our Midas Pro plus light send to the stage. These are also 250' stranded, however they are not on a reel.

We have used these for the past 4 years or so and never had a problem as of yet.
